Question about Japan

[ChaosRocket]

Does anyone know where I can find more information about the fact that there aren't going to be enough young people to support all the numerous old people collecting old age welfare in Japan? Like especially some articles or something.

Also info on the effect of fiscal policy in Japan, especially how it helped to make Japan have such a small income gap and helped reduce the impact of the Asian crisis.

Academic journal articles are your best bet, but do you have access to a fulltext journal database?

No, I don't...those normally cost money, don't they? I need at least a couple articles that are accessable to anyone online, because part of the final is that I have to assign readings to the class before giving a presentation.

Well there are two different finals for two classes; one of them is about the problem with aging in Japan, and that's the one I need to assign articles on, and find enough information to write a paper and give a presentation. Do you have any idea at all where I could find stuff like that?

Then the other final isn't actually about Japan specifically, but I just wanted to bring up examples of their fiscal policy helping to prevent an income gap as evidence for my overall point in that paper. How do you really feel about the fact that Japan uses so much government intervention and doesn't have a problem with income gaps, whereas more laissez-faire countries like America have a huge income gap and the ultra rich are really the only sector that is even experiencing growth?
